Roma, 20 novembre 2012
Le strategie globali dell’EIT. Quale futuro in
Horizon 2020?

The EIT – a brief and intensive journey towards the
knowledge triangle integration
• EIT launched the 15th September 2008 – set up to revitalise the
EU innovation landscape
• the first initiative of the European Union bringing together the
three dimensions of the knowledge triangle
Mission:
“To be the catalyst for a step change
in the European Union’s innovation capacity and impact”
Education
Innovation
Research
the glue: entrepreneurship

….. to improve European competitiveness by addressing a
sustainable economic growth through a stronger innovation
capability First action (Dec. 2009) the creation of
Knowledge and Innovation Communities aiming
at:
• build innovative ‘webs of excellence’
• create new business with societal impact
• educate and develop entrepreneurial people
• KIC’s Stakeholders:Business, Entrepreneurs, Research and
Technology Organisations, Education,
Investment Communities, Local and
National Governments
The EIT operates via
Knowledge & Innovation Communities (KICs)

A KIC and its Co-location Centres
• KICs, highly integrated, creative, excellence-driven,
autonomous partnerships; internationally distributed but
thematically convergent partners
• KIC co-location, a geographical location of a KIC where a large
part of the innovation web can work in proximity
across the innovation web
• CEO type leadership; a monitored business
plan with targeted investment returns and
drivers based on achievements
• Minimum 7 years life

KICs achievements since 2010
• 17 innovation hotspots spread across Europe
• 280 partners from industry, research, academia and other
relevant institutions
• 170 million € EIT seed investment topped by the three KICs
with more than 600 million € derived from external sources
• 1000 students recruited into20 specific educational
programmes integrating interdisciplinary innovation and
entrepreneurship
• 100projects initiated by the KICs, 27 start-up companies, 35
patent applications and 100 novel services and products in
the pipeline
7
The EIT/KIC model – essential values
• Local-global : KIC as a potential model for synergy
o global dimension of the KIC (coded knowledge,
competition)
o local policies and choices (tacit knowledge) enabling
sustainable processes and certifying their feasibility
• Adopting knowledge-based, open and demand-based
innovation models (anticipatory attitude, entrepreneurship,
role of PA)
• Challenging on business models sustainability-enabled
and networking mechanisms
• Exploring new paths to remunerate and exploit knowledge
creation efforts (social entrepreneurship, continuous innovation
process)
8
A contribution to face European limits in innovation
• discontinuous innovation in knowledge-
intensive sectors, low private R&D spending
• non-R&D based innovation in SMEs
• low entrepreneurial culture (firms renewal)
and innovation-driven education
• insufficient organisational and process
innovation
• market fragmentation, weak linkage
of local capabilities to global perspectives
European Innovation Scoreboard
9
A support to European policies(challenging on both What? and How?)
HOW? (contribution to EU
policy, new models for
business, innovation and
education)
WHAT? (economic and social
value through new
innovative schemes and
entrepreneurship)
EIT/KICs
Horizon 2020
• integration of R&I from idea
to market
• added value from societal
challenges
• room for discontinuous
approaches and creativity
• simplification
10
Investing in KICs by trusting in non-conventional ideas
Performance indicators
• new business created
(e.g. # KIC spin-off, market value)
• talents attraction (#of PhD, Post-doc,
courses for entrepreneurship, creativity,
mobility levels)
• industrial partnership attraction (investment, polarisation of
activities)
• development of the EIT brand (culture, innovation and
education models)

EIT, a valuable model for some Italian weaknesses
• research and market fragmentation
• limits in knowledge management and firm renewal
(entrepreneurship)
• difficulty to embed R&D national opportunities in the
European framework
Industry
• widening perspectives: innovative
business-driven international chains
• access to promising innovation
models
Academia:
• challenging on multi-disciplinary
research and process innovation
• contribution to new education
models
Public entities:
• exploitation of social value
embedded in the grand
challenges
12
Some hints to try for KICs on the new themes
Look at social and economic expectation and potential impact
(e.g. knowledge jobs, market, sustainability)
A good candidate KIC shows high elasticity
(impact incremental growth) to the “EIT production
mechanism”
realising the conditions for added value
creation (stakeholders, entrepreneurial
capability, local-global juncture, lead
market creation)

socialservices
• prevention and personalised health
• predictive medicine and early diagnosis
• de-hospitalization, assistance and
chronic diseases
• inter-generational contract, active life
Essential requirements:
• preserve wellbeing under pressing financial
constraints
• polarise process innovation efforts by exploiting
creativity, dissemination, public adoption and social
involvement
• integrate the management of the overall process(°) linkage with EIP on active and healthy ageing
14
An example: food for future (°)
• food-physiology interaction
• improve horticultural quality, animal health and welfare
• rural communities as trustee for management of natural
resources and biological diversity
Essential requirements:
• valorise local production peculiarities through new agro-food
value chains
• create sustainable models from fork to farm (healthy nutrition,
packaging and distribution, production)
• consolidation of knowledge-based rural economy, related
education models and professional perspectives(°) linkage with Food for life platformand Extended reflection paper - Theme 2
